Chorus: Come on, get your oars and row, my darling Come on, get your oars and row We’ve got tide and the river rising Come on, get your oars and row Come up on your feet and walk, my baby Rise up on your feet and walk We’ve got arms reaching out to catch you Haul up on those feet and walk In the morning call my name, my darling In the morning call my name We grow old, young; we birth, we die And somehow rearrange Some live and change the world with grace And a vision and a strength of mind Some rise from trouble, some lend a hand And some keep trying to find Watch that little boy go a-walking, my lover And watch him as he learns to run Watch him as he rounds the corner out of sight Then tumbling back in our arms he comes When it’s time to say goodbye, my darling When it’s time to say goodbye We’ll live on in the old and the young ones Dreaming down a quiet line
